Joel 2:28-32

Verses 28-32

Spiritual gifts to be bestowed in a more distant future, Joel 2:28-32 (Hebrew chap. 3).

This section takes us to a more distant future; how far is not stated. In addition to the temporal blessings promised for the immediate future (Joel 2:19-27), higher spiritual blessings are awaiting the people. The Spirit will be poured out upon them, so that the spiritual perception of all will be clarified and intensified (28, 29); and being in a new fellowship with Jehovah they have nothing more to fear. The day of Jehovah will come, inaugurated by extraordinary phenomena in nature (30, 31), but those who through the outpouring of the Spirit have become true children of God shall escape (32).
